Default Warranty Question

Can Lexus void the warranty on your car if you have it serviced by someone other than Lexus? They have this ridiculous (to me) 30,000 mile service that costs about $700.00 and it sounds like a walk around, oil and filter, and a couple of other things. What if I brought it to a Toyota dealer? How about an independent shop? Thanks.

Thanks, JM. I'm a lawyer and it sounded like an antitrust violation/illegal tie to me. Glad for the link though.
